Right now, two weeks after knee replacement, I can make it to the mailbox and back…so I am good only for moral support which you have, and along with it goes an equal amount of envy which I have….have a great walk Mike!

It ends! Busted a knee (not the one I was worried about) on the way down the first mountain. Struggled for three more days and had to make it into a section hike. The Trail will still be there for my next section hike.

We must have passed each other! Had to end my hike after four days of struggling with a bad knee. Popped on the way down from Springer but made it to Woody Gap before calling it for this year. More sections to come after the gimp goes away.

Just remember that it’s okay to let all of the 20-somethings pass you by. They will do 20 miles a day for three days and then crash for three days. Slow and steady wins the race. Stay safe and have fun!

Mike, I’m sorry to see yo had an injury. I leave next month for the NE and then westward to Glacier NP. I’m starting with day hikes of 1-2 miles for a month or two. I will tackle the John Muir trails day hikes until its gets too cold. You get better and attack the trails when the limbs are better. 🙂
